My wife and I just returned this Sun. from Aruba. We are repeat visitors and have never had any problems with theft on the island until this Sat. While I was snorkling at Malmok Beach, someone Got into my snorkle bag hidden in the rocks and took the car key ( left my wife's snorkle equip.) and stole the rental car. My wallet,cash, credit cards, driv. lic ect were locked up in the trunk. We purchase all additional ins.offered to us from Budget but they state we declined Theft ins. Bottom line... It was never offered to us, we are responsible for the cost of the car until it is located. BE CAREFUL- WEAR YOUR CAR KEY AROUND YOUR NECK OR WRIST AS THE POLICE LATER ADVISED US!!. Is there anybody with a similar incident that can give me some advice. I have nobody to represent me when they find the car and return it to Budget. The car was in pretty bad shape when it was given to us but I did video tape the car before we took it. Anybody seen a White Toyota Yaris Lic plate # V- 3631???We love Aruba and will return next year but this is a huge problem that the police call JOY RIDING.Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++The best Steak I have ever had. My wife and I were on our Honeymoon and loved it. To anyone working at the restaurant, we had our wallet and camera bag stolen in Aruba and kept some momentos from your restaurant. They consisted of two coasters, and two bull pins that came in the steaks, if you could send us any of those, we would appreciate it and put them in a scrapbook. I will be glad to pay for any fees involving the shipment. Thanks a million, I will leave my email address.Steve Rrose0034@comcast.net08 Jul 200518:01:58

The man was a bouncer at C&C way before Natalee came to Aruba. He went to Venezuela where he tried to transport drugs in his stomach to Aruba, but when he arrived he felt sick because the packages in his stomach broke. He overdosed himseld and the case is not considered a murder case. His friends that were with him were all charged with destruction of an object (since by law, a body is considered an object) after they tried to get rid of the body by burning it.

Glenda didn't get the early memo. This is what she posted on April 6 on the darkside.

That's interesting that he was a bouncer. I know that Glenda said that the man who killed him is a real hardened killer. Does that mean that the police already know who did it? This dead man is obviously a local. With so many people in Aruba being related like Dompig and the witness I wonder if that is why there have been no tipsters collecting a reward for information about Natalee. They may be afraid to come forth. I have read that Nadira (K2's mom) is also related to Dompig. I don't know if it is confirmed how. Surely someone had to see something that night after the 4 left C&C's.

This man was killed in a horrific manner ~ hardened criminal is my vocabulary for someone who could have done this. This was not an accident, a crime of passion or rage. Torture is a form of calculated punishment or revenge.

These posts are from just a couple of days after Pitbull was found. Monkeys aren't the only ones who suspect he was murdered.

SYDNEY, Australia (AFP): The Australian government has warned fans attending the Cricket World Cup about high crime rates in the area and told them not to turn up drunk for their flights.

The foreign affairs department said in an official travel advisory that fans needed to be aware of safety issues at the World Cup, to be hosted by six Caribbean nations from March 10 until April 28.

"In some parts of the Caribbean, violent crime, including armed robbery, kidnapping and murder is common," the advisory said.

"Violent crime is often gang-related and perpetrators may be armed. There is also a high rate of petty crime, including pickpocketing and bag snatching. Walking after dark, including on beaches, can be dangerous due to the increased risk of robbery and assault.

"Crime, including sexual assault and robbery, has also occurred after travellers have accepted spiked food or drink."

Many Australians are expected to visit the Caribbean in large travel groups and the advisory said proper conduct was essential when catching flights.

"Australians travelling to the Cricket World Cup should be aware that airlines serving the Caribbean during the tournament will be refusing boarding to unruly passengers - for example, those intoxicated, aggressive or otherwise behaving inappropriately," it said.

"Passengers refused boarding could face difficulties in re-booking accommodation at departure points and making alternative flight arrangements because of the expected high demand for these services."

ORENJESTAD – The Aruban minister Ramon Lee of labour, Culture, and Sport (MEP) will not be indicted for rape, announced the Public Prosecutor (OM) close to noon. It appears that the alleged victim had already dropped the charges in a letter dated December 20th. She did this, because she wants peace and quiet for herself and for her family. On November 11th, she reported that she was forced to have intercourse with the minister in her home. She says that dropping the charges doesn’t mean that she denies that it happened; neither will the OM stop the investigations. The Justice department can still decide to prosecute, unless there is sufficient convincing evidence. This is not the case here, said the OM. Lee was interrogates twice as a suspect and admitted that he had intercourse with her, but that it was consensual.

If the victim doesn't press charges, rape isn't a crime? (Remember the gang rape of the girl by classmates ... even though videoed on cell phone and put on the internet - her parents didn't press charges, so No Crime.)

Hi Terric and welcome to murder and mayhem on Aruba! Thanks for your post and hope you'll keep your eyes peeled for other incidents.

I have not a clue what the "twinge party" thing is all about. Look 2 or 3 posts above, though - Leslie posted this murder Monday 02/05. We don't have a translation, but it appears that the victim was "stabbed" in the throat (or maybe throat cut).
